I think, I'll do it professionally.
At the moment, I'm doing the final work before I can paint the armor. (Helmet moding and getting the tricky parts sanded.
)Actually, I was already at my neighborhood painter months ago. He'll use some special paints, I wouldn't get at any shops. That alone is already a big plus.
On the other side, if I would paint it by myself, I would need one year or two more for finishing my armor, because I would never get it properly. XD
But some smaller parts I will do by myself at a later time. The pauldron or the blaster for example.
I should post some pics after the long time, shouldn't I?
I hope, I can do it within the next days.

Well, well. Made my last post a long time ago. Problems at work, some time in hospital and the holidays. I hope, I can now start building again.
But before I do, I need to confirm that I did it unterstand it the right way. Option B is the deal instead of Option A for the step details on the biceps, right? Or something else I miss?
-
I'm interested as well. Still need one for my FOTK.
But I'm curios about a few things. Will there be kits only, or finished blasters, too? If yes: Will there be installed electronics? (I can't do things like that and haven't someone in my area, who could do that for me.
) And the most important thing: How about shipping to germany? I'm affraid to get problems with the german customs... About the price. Well, I think, I'll start to save money now, so I can afford it.
-
Thanks!
Yeah, right? I originally planned to finish my armor for April / May because I had my first troop there for this year.
After that, I lost 2 more troops as a FOTK and it looks like that I will miss the next in three weeks, too. That's so terrible, if you want troop with others as a FOTK (or the only one as that), but you can't..
Anyone else with this kind of situation?
Another problem is, that I could probably finished my armor already, if I wouldn't do the modding work for more screen accuracy (or better overall look) or at least I would have painted it.
-
Sorry for the long time gap since my last post. I have too much to do and couldn't do anything for weeks now. Still have to paint my armor.
Anyways...

2. I swore I had this piece leveled out but I think the magnets slipped a bit. Nothing huge but I hope you cant tell much when putting
the black tape on it.
I had the same problem. And sadly you can see it, even after putting tape on it (I tested it).
Because of this fact, I used some putty on the tubes edge for simulating the straight look.
-
Thank you, Walter. I don't think, that my build is that good. But it should work for troops.
You do a great job at your build btw..
Shins:
I also heat bended the gluing tab into the box indents for a bigger surface (= more gluing strength).

Next one are the tighs. But they will be my next post. This time it is just only a preview of that, what I did at weekend. The first test fitting of the "whole" armor. Actually before I apply the putty during the next days. Gaskets were shipped last week, so the parts looks pretty oversized and I can't do much during the wait time.
What do you think? For the second (and first not scrapped so far) armor, it looks pretty good, I think. I'm pleased with the results so far.
The First Order C3PO, lol.

YES, it is!
hahahaSome people admitted that they didn't want to ask me if it's AC inspired or not - because they didn't want to insult me or something. But I'm always happy when peeps recognize it
And yea, let's troop together some time! I'll keep you guys up to date and start a thread with my work in progress!
Haha, I knew it.
I don't understand, why they think that. I mean, should I be mad, if someone ask me what I am (Stormtrooper). Or if they think, I'm a Clone? XD
And why someone shouldn't recognize that? This costume clearly punch you in the face, that it is a AC style Mando. You can't overlook the characteristics of an Assassin.
Great to hear! Will wait for it.

Welcome to the FISD!
ANH Stunt is a good choice!
Cheers from Germany

Welcome to the FISD, Sabrina!
Your custom mando looks pretty good.
It is a mix of Star Wars and Assassins Creed, or am I wrong?Good luck with your Phasma. Maybe, we can someday troop together for the first order. I'm currently at 60% finished on my FO TK. Keep us updatet.
Cheers from Germany!

Right Side (out)
Is it normal to have one side a little longer? I hope so...
Mine looks the same at this point, maybe 2mm shorter.
I guess, it needs bondo / filler to fix this or leave it just the way it is. Or better sanded out, I think, I will do that.

Thermal Detonator:
Inside after gluing.
Finished. But as you can see, the top section is broken. Anovos should redesign the base plate a bit. (Or it is just me.)
I decided to rebuild the broken section with glue. Aplied on painters tape, put on the gap, turn upside down and let cure.
After cure time remove painters tape. Finished again and ready for filler.
Maybe it's just me, but it could be possible, that the return edges on the left and right side of 10D are supposed to be NOT cut of. My gaps are like the same shape they was. And this would explain these little indents left and right of the base plate.
What do you think?
-
The first parts, I was gluing were the forearms and the DT.
Here the forearms:
Here comes the doctor.
Finished:
Forearms ready for filler and paint.
First parts I finished and they're looking good. Not, what I suspected. Actually the base plates fits quite perfect. (Pretty snug.)

Rest of trimming work.
Armor after trimming.
The last bit of plastic, I had sanded away instead of cutting directly to the outlining.
Next step: Gluing the parts together!
-
First pics. Nothing special, just the trimming process.
So much of white plastic. What a
nightmawonderful dream.

Hello folks!
I thought about it for some weeks, if I should start my own build thread. Well, I can tell, that I'm a noob on such things like building a set of armor.
(This will be my 2nd set I build for myself and hopefully my first that I don't scrap. XD) So, this is a bit embarrassing for me...But now, I'm just starting this thread.
Currently, I have finished my armor about 50% and it runs fine so far.
Soon, I post the first pics.
See ya!
